Texas Tax Action in Federal Court Affects Major Firms
Temporary injunction from Judge Duval West blocks Attorney General Keeling and State Comptroller Lon A. Smith from suing to recover gross receipts taxes from Texas Pipe Line company. State records show 732145 dollars due over three years, with Humble Oil and Pipe Line also in dispute for about 45000 dollars. Other items include 134000 dollars due from rail carriers and a test case on tax constitutionality. The I and GN Railway intangibles case seeks taxes across about forty counties and dates to 1915.
